Taylor Swift’s New Album ‘1989’ Smashes Sales

Already Best-Selling Album Released In 2014

It’s official: Taylor Swift’s new album is already number one and no other album has sold this well for a very long time.

1989 shot straight to the top of the charts this week, selling an unbelievable 1.287 million copies in just seven days, reports Forbes.

What’s even more impressive is that the last time an album sold that many copies in its first week was 2002, when Eminem sold just over 1.3 million copies of The Eminem Show.

In addition, Swift’s fifth album has instantly become the highest-selling album to be released in 2014!

And it looks like no other album will top that this year, with Coldplay’s Ghost Stories in second place and still yet to sell 800,000 units.

This is the fourth consecutive number one album to be realised by the country-turned-pop star and she is breaking records in the process - Taylor is now officially the only woman to have three albums sell over one million copies in a single week.
